New Member Fee
“New Member Fee Update — As announced during the August Board Briefing, the new member fee will increase to $25 USD on October 1, 2025. This one-time fee supports administrative costs, Base Camp system access, and provides new members with their first path. The fee has remained unchanged for 20 years, predating our current online engagement system, making this adjustment necessary to continue providing quality member support and services.” This is published at the “September 2025 Leader Letter” https://www.toastmasters.org/Membership/Leadership/the-leader-letter/leader-letter-september-2025/club-news-september-2025/
